uniform nitpicking
I found ESPN's Uni Watch by Paul Lukas articles pretty fascinating, especially this on the Olympics. Silver should go to the winner:
For most of recorded history, female figure skaters wore their skates over their stockings. But in recent years, there's been a growing trend toward wearing the stockings over the skates. What's the deal with that? Like, are we supposed to think the skate is a fleshy extension of the skater's leg, like some bizarre appendage with a blade growing out of it? Uni Watch urges a return to skate-over-stocking normalcy, pronto.
found via kottke's link to this post on jersy lettering: "In order to promote VAL [Vertically Arched Lettering] awareness and appreciation, the NBA, NHL and MLB shall use revenue from the tax to jointly purchase the trademarked term "Arch Deluxe" from McDonald's and use it as the slogan for a VAL publicity campaign."
